Product: HP ENVY - 17t-ce100 CTO
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I had a swollen battery and removed it immediately.  The HP battery for my laptop is no longer available.  I would have to buy a non OEM battery of inferior quality which will probably not last long anyway.  Can I operate my laptop without the battery?  Any risk in testing it? Any settings that might need to be modified?

Hi:

 

It should be OK to run the notebook without the battery but since your notebook doesn't have a CMOS/RTC battery according to the service manual, every time you shut down and turn on the notebook, you will get a CMOS 502 checksum error which you will have to clear, and have to set the time and date settings.
